Dennis is a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon, aka a multi-player text adventure) and collaborative writing exercise inspired by ifMUD[1],
in which all content is created by the users, by utilizing in-game commands. The game starts with a single empty room, and one
or more players build a world from that point by adding rooms, exits, and items, and assigning them descriptions and attributes.
The in-game "help" command provides a categorized listing and usage instructions for every command in the game. This is an
experimental project in early-to-mid alpha, and new features are added frequently. Bugs and backwards-incompatible updates are
to be expected.
A private test instance is available to LOCAL users of tilde.team on port 37381, accessible via Telnet.
A public test instance is also available, or you can grab the code from GitHub and roll your own. See the Links section.
Connect to the server from your shell with "rlwrap telnet localhost 37381".
To get started, type "register username password", substituting the username and password you want to use.
Then type "login username password" with the username and password you chose to log in.
Important commands for the casual player include "look", "go", "say", "action", and "chat".
Read the help pages for the other commands listed by "help" to get started making content.
Using the "help" command by itself will list command categories.
Using "help" on a category will list the commands in that category.
For example, "help exploration" will list commands related to exploration.
You can also use help on a particular command to see a manual entry for that command.
For example, "help make item" will show the manual entry for the "make item" command.
